Chronicles of Celestial Origins

The array altar is surrounded by densely carved black talismans, and huge stone pillars of different colors stand. There are rows of ladder-like stone steps to the south of the array altar, extending to the top.

"There is actually a magic circle left here."

"The center of the formation altar is hollow."

"I don't think this looks like a magic circle, but more like an altar for some kind of ritual."

"You'll find out once you go in and take a look."

Several people walked along the stone steps to the top of the altar, which was shaped like a bowl and was closed by two stone doors.

After pushing open the stone door, you can see a black sarcophagus facing the sky above the altar. Zhang Shilin flashed and jumped down.

The other three people also came to the altar. The light inside was a little dim. Except for a stone coffin, it was empty and there was nothing else.

There are many patterns carved on the surface of the black sarcophagus and the stone walls inside the altar.

Everyone was observing the surroundings. Suddenly, they saw the sarcophagus blooming with dazzling light, and the lines on it seemed to come alive. They surged one after another. A golden light reflected from the sarcophagus, covering Wang Zhongxuan who was closest to it. The sarcophagus The swimming lines on the body were like hungry tigers rushing towards food, rushing towards it one after another.

This sudden change shocked several other people. Zhang Shilin was shrouded in golden light and froze in place without moving. His pupils shrank suddenly and his expression looked very horrified.

"There's something strange." Before Hu You finished speaking, a beam of light was fired from his hands towards the sarcophagus. With a bang, the sarcophagus was torn into pieces and scattered on the ground. The golden light radiating from it disappeared instantly.

However, a ghostly black shadow rushed forward from inside, and the three figures flew back. Hu You clasped his hands together, and formed a huge bloody lightsaber in his palms, slashing straight down.

The entire array shattered in an instant, the lightsaber slashed down, and the space was torn apart.

The black shadow had no entity, only a black outline. When the lightsaber was cut down, it opened its mouth, and countless stars and dots of light poured out from it, converging into a black ball.

The round bead burst into dazzling black light, intertwined with the sword light, and for a moment they were even at a stalemate.

On the other side, when the black shadow jumped out, Zhang Shilin's body fell straight down. His body was covered with dense runes, which gradually disappeared into his body, merged with it, and then disappeared.

Seeing Hu You and the black shadow fighting each other, Tang Ning and Wang Zhongxuan naturally would not stand idly by.

Tang Ning formed a seal with her hands, and Xuantian's big palm seal formed, and she slapped it towards the black shadow. A blood mass the size of a palm also formed in Wang Zhongxuan's palm.

At this moment, Tangning suddenly noticed a powerful aura coming from behind him. He quickly turned around, only to see a swarthy man appearing in front of him, punching him with a fist emitting a dazzling red light. Below, it’s the crocodile monster.

It turned out that it did not run away. Seeing that the few people did not pursue it, it secretly turned back and lurked behind it. The few people were unable to discover its existence until Hu You and the black shadow fought. Attracted, it suddenly burst out of the darkness.

With a loud bang, the fist emitting dazzling light collided with Tangning's fist. In an instant, the entire space suddenly shook like an earthquake, and ripples in the space surged around like huge waves. The point where the two of them collided , a crack was torn open in the space.

Tang Ning felt that all the internal organs in her body were shaking. The bones of her arms made a creaking sound, and then her whole body flew out like a cannonball. In the process, the tiger's mouth had split open.

The power of the crocodile demon's punch was so powerful that even his strong body could not withstand it. If it had been anyone else, his internal organs would have been shattered immediately.

As his body fell, green spiritual power surged in his body, and the wounds from the tiger's mouth immediately recovered as before.

The crocodile demon didn't intend to let him go, but Wang Zhongxuan's condensed blood shot forward and enveloped him.

At this moment, the blood mass had grown to several hundred feet in size. The moment it came into contact with the crocodile demon, the blood mass burst suddenly and turned into a bloody river, submerging the crocodile demon in it.

The blood mass condensed in Wang Zhongxuan's palm was originally intended to deal with the black shadow, but unexpectedly the crocodile demon suddenly came out. Seeing Tangning being punched away by the crocodile demon, he gave up helping Hu You and attacked the crocodile demon instead.

At this time, Zhang Shilin had been possessed by the runes on the strange sarcophagus, fell down, and lost his fighting power.

Facing the black shadows and tiger demons pouring out of the sarcophagus, it was already very difficult for the three of them to deal with them. If one more person was killed, Hu You and he would be the only ones left, and they would definitely not be able to deal with the combined efforts of the tiger demons and black shadows.

Furthermore, having one more person alive can also attract the attention of the crocodile demon and distract its attacks. If Tangning is killed by the crocodile demon, it will undoubtedly be his turn next.

After the blood mass hundreds of feet in size exploded, a billowing stream of blood flowed out, covering dozens of miles around in an instant.

The crocodile demon disappeared into the long river of blood and disappeared.

Wang Zhongxuan clasped his hands tightly, and the spiritual power in his body surged, trying to suppress the crocodile monster that was submerged in the bloody river.

I saw huge waves surging in the blood river for dozens of miles around, boiling like magma. Gradually, the blood river seemed to be stirred by something, and a huge vortex appeared in it, sucking all the blood river into it.

Wang Zhongxuan's expression changed slightly. Seeing the vortex getting bigger and bigger, his eyes flickered. In the next moment, his body flashed and he fled outside.

Seeing that he was running away on his own, Tang Ning would not stay and deal with the crocodile monster alone, so she followed him closely.

Only Hu You was still in a stalemate with the black shadow. The sword light and the black light emitted by the ball spit out from the black shadow's body were each on one side.

He cursed loudly in his heart, turned his hand, and took out a golden scroll. The spiritual power in his body poured in, and the golden scroll burst into light, emitting a dazzling light, covering his whole body.

His entire body was bathed in golden light, and his body disappeared visibly to the naked eye.

As Hu You left, the sword light lost its spiritual support and was quickly swallowed up by the black light gate emitted by the ball.

At the same time, the crocodile demon figure rushed out from the bloody river.

He turned to look at the black figure with a somewhat fearful expression. When his eyes glanced at Zhang Shilin who had fallen to the ground, his brows furrowed.

At this time, Zhang Shilin, who was lying on the ground, suddenly moved his fingers slightly. Seeing this, the crocodile demon seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, and his pupils suddenly shrank, with a look of horror.

After the black shadow on the other side retracted the ball spit out from its body, it shot out countless black lines and headed towards the crocodile monster.

The crocodile demon's eyes were fixed on Zhang Shilin who fell to the ground. When he saw the black shadow approaching, his eyes flickered for a moment, as if hesitating, and finally he flew back and fled from here.

The black shadow saw it leaving, but still pursued it relentlessly.

…

Tang Ning and Wang Zhongxuan fled the palace in the blink of an eye and traveled more than a thousand miles before stopping.

Hu You was chasing behind Gai Yin, and the three of them met together.

Hu You stopped in front of the two of them, his face was as dark as water, his eyes swept over the two of them, and he snorted: "The two fellow Taoists walked really fast, I almost couldn't catch up."

"I was preparing to help fellow Daoist Hu to deal with the black shadow in the sarcophagus, but the crocodile monster suddenly came out. I was accidentally attacked by it from behind and was injured. I also saw fellow Daoist Wang leaving. If I stayed, I would fight with the crocodile monster. "My life will be at risk, so I left. I hope Fellow Daoist Hu will forgive me." Tang Ning cleared herself up with a few words and naturally passed all responsibilities to Wang Zhongxuan.

Both of them are in charge of the Fifth Legion, and any conflicts should be resolved by themselves.

Wang Zhongxuan showed a guilty look: "I also saw fellow Taoist Tang being attacked and injured by the crocodile demon, and fellow Taoist Zhang being possessed by the sarcophagus rune and fainting on the ground. It was difficult for me to deal with the crocodile demon alone, so I left in a hurry. At that time, I was full of thoughts What I wanted was to escape from the palace there and not notice that Fellow Daoist Hu was still fighting with the black shadow."

"Hmph! Before we entered the ruins, we agreed to advance and retreat together. Unexpectedly, the two of us disappeared without even saying hello. If I hadn't had a high-level space scroll with me, I would have become their own. It's a stepping stone." Hu You still looked ugly and snorted coldly.

"What Fellow Daoist Hu is blaming is that all the responsibility for this matter lies with me. I should have reminded him in time. Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Hu got rid of the entanglement of the shadow, otherwise I would really feel guilty for the rest of my life." Wang Zhongxuan knew that he was wrong, so he could only lower his eyebrows and obey. Admit mistakes.

Hu You was still angry, but he also knew that blaming was meaningless at this time, so he just looked at Wang Zhongxuan with cold eyes and said nothing.

The atmosphere fell into silence for a moment, and Tang Ning interrupted: "With all due respect, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on Daoyou Wang. The situation was urgent at the time, and no one expected such a change to happen. Daoyou Zhang was the first to be plotted, and we have lost one of our men. , the crocodile monster suddenly appeared again, and with the black shadow in the sarcophagus, we are already at a disadvantage in terms of combat power. "

"I don't know if there is anything weird in the palace. If we don't leave as soon as possible and the fight continues, the situation will be even more dangerous. Leaving in time is the best policy."

"Now that Fellow Daoist Zhang is trapped in the palace, his life or death is uncertain. Instead of blaming each other, let's discuss what to do next? Do you want to break into the palace again? Fellow Daoist Hu, tell me! We all listen to you."

Hu You's eyes flickered and he remained silent.

It is currently known that there are crocodile demons and sarcophagus shadows guarding the ruins. Let alone other forces. With the strength of three people, it is difficult to predict whether they will win or lose against the crocodile demon, let alone the two of them joining forces.

Entering at this time and trying to compete with the crocodile demon and the black shadow would definitely be a trap, not to mention that no treasures worthy of risking one's life were found in the ruins of the palace.

As for Zhang Shilin's fate, although the three of them did not express it clearly, they all agreed that he was in danger. Naturally, they would not fight the crocodile monster and the black shadow for him to enter the palace ruins again. Otherwise, they would not have abandoned him at that time. He escaped.
